going green is all the rage

with all the research i have been doing on thailand, i have become increasingly concerned with doing my part to be green! the pollution that is reported in the "land of smiles" is scary. i live in one of the more polluted cities in the US and prevention is the only cure at this point. i found some great resources to aid my green quest without losing the fun in my lifestyle. the urban dweller's guide to green living is a lot of fun, i think of it as a tour guide to a city i have lived in for 6 years. its always fun to explore and now knowing that my money is being spent in environmentally conscious establishments will make the spending even more fun and possible tax deductible - we culture vultures must stick close to our budget ;). the guide will tell you where to shop, eat and how you can give back to the environment and community.

with summer coming, we have to be so mindful of the resources we are depleting, i check out LA DWP's website for tips on conserving energy.

another improtant matter floating around in my mind a lot lately is sustainable food and how it affects my health, the environment and the economy. i learned a lot about it from one of my favorite recipe sites Epicurious.com. these issues are so important if we want there to be a tomorrow for our childrens children.

it ain't easy being green

green has always been an obsession of mine...it's my favorite color. nowadays being green doesn't mean you are envious or need to hol' a fresh, it means you care about this planet we live on. green is my obsession.

the Oscars did it with an all "green" show - carefully selecting mateirals environmentally friendly materials to produce the show. bravo to them, the show was a success, although I could have saved about 30 minutes worth of energy if they cutdown some of the boring montages.


i recently started driving an SUV and I love my ride, but i do feel guilty riding in it all alone. sometimes i feel like picking someone up at the bus stop, just to do my part. carpooling is tomorrow's obsession for me. why do Angelinos love to ride solo? let's start sharing rides and saving the environment. this search engine for carpoolers could very well be the next phenomenon in dating online *wink*.


call it mint or sea foam, the ladies were pushiing in with the bridesmaid color scheme on the red carpet. green might be my fav hue, but this didn't work for me. my pick for best dressed was reese witherspoon, she followed the golden rule - look fabulous when your ex is going to see you - brilliantly done. she did purple right.
